Lecture Description
When we meet growing children for orthodontic treatment in clinical practice, it is common to find difficult cases about sagittal or vertical or horizontal skeletal disharmony, but there are also some cases with congenital missing of multiple permanent teeth. It is not easy to induce and maintain the normal growth and development of the jaw or alveolar bone in the case of a young patient with 2 or 3 or more tooth missing. In addition, it is a well-known fact that it is very difficult to make a decision in the clinic when the residual primary teeth are extracted due to poor prognosis due to caries or severe inflammation, or when ankyloses are occurred.
Therefore, I would like to share the diagnosis and treatment plan establishment that can achieve functional and esthetics in consideration of the future adult and middle-aged growth of a growing patient who is accompanied by multiple permanent tooth missing and who has had loss of or ankyloses of the primary teeth. In fact, clinicians' approaches to multiple tooth missing often establish a treatment plan considering the crown space. However, in this lecture, the treatment plan decision taking into account the development of the alveolar and jaw bones as well as the space required for the crown when the child becomes an adult will be discussed with cases.
